ABOUT US

The catchment of the school is Campbell Park to the West, Blackpoint to the East and Danseys’ Pass to the South.

We provide stimulating and engaging learning opportunities for students from Year 0 to 8, supported by a dedicated and collaborative team of educators. Our thriving rural school is well supported by the Board of Trustees and the local community.

Our work is underpinned by the four core values of Honesty, Respect, Perseverance, Co-operation and Inclusion which sit within our vision: ‘The BEST we can be’ Ko te pai e taea e tatou!

We invite you to come and see for yourself what makes our kura so special. We warmly welcome whānau and community members to visit us, meet our passionate staff, and experience the unique spirit of our rural school in the Waitaki Valley.
